Valuable info about the Physics Nobel Prize today from Prof. Joseph Barranco at SFSU on Martinis and Devoret being a grad student and postdoc in Clarke's lab at UC Berkeley & Clark and Devoret being immigrants. "California *public* education made this happen. Immigration made this happen." ⚛️

This article manages to name her husband before it names… her.

I dunno about the rest of you, but I want my cardiologist to relax and rest rather than spend her off-time picking litter and sweeping the streets.

Isaac Newton, Charles Darwin, Ada Lovelace, Alan Turing, Rosalind Franklin, Alexander Fleming, Stephen Hawking. Farage: ‘When it comes to science, I don’t trust anybody’. The man stands directly against UK values and scientific achievement.

.@SadiqKhan responds to Farage’s deportation plan “Thousands of Londoners have indefinite leave to remain. They have legal rights and are our friends, neighbours and colleagues, contributing hugely to our city. Threatening to deport people living and working here legally is unacceptable.”

britains biggest fan of deportations moaning because he's been deported. Twice in the same day👇

Education is the enemy of fascism.

Something I talked about in the post I did over the summer on radicalisation. It's an important factor in elite radicalisation. samf.substack.com/p/the-radica...

There is also such a thing as the folk-memory of rightwing mobs among some of us.

The whole team – from the cleaners to the consultants – are dominated by migrants and the children of migrants. Many people out there know this of the NHS, but until you see it for yourself, it remains a kind of abstract statement. If the UK started 'sending 'em home', the NHS would literally stop.

Generations. It will take generations to undo the damage. Marvel or DC couldn't dream up a super villain that wats to bring back all childhood diseases and empower cancer. 🇨🇦

We need less think pieces on how new media is radicalizing the young and more think pieces on how old media is radicalizing the old

I’ve mulled over posting this for months now. But yesterday it came to a head. And I’m aware that the people who need to see it will either not be here, or will suggest that I’m lying. I live near an asylum hotel. The reason I didn’t post earlier is that I didn’t want to raise undue attention

Letter of the day (in the Times)

British doctor comes back from Gaza and confirms two things we knew: 1- the Israelis *specifically* confiscate formula feed to starve children 2- there is a clear pattern in gun shot wounds pointing to the fact that IDF soldiers are playing games hunting humans. www.instagram.com/reel/DMm03Kp...

“The US State Department has circulated a chart for guidance…”

Dr. Nick Maynard tells NPR he's treating children shot at food distribution sites and witnessing what he believes is the systematic destruction of Gaza's civilian infrastructure.

“So there is a very clear pattern that all not just me, but all of us have seen in this hospital whereby particular body parts are targeted on particular days.”

now i get the name

So,as a little thought-experiment, tell me something about the United Kingdom that works well and is actually quite impressive. I am not trying to sound like some boosterish politician. I just genuinely believe that making people believe that all is lost is a convenient pretext for shady characters.

America's descent into suppression of dissent 🧵 I've been tracking Trump's actions since Jan and have included 93 actions that I consider to suppress dissent. They fall into 4 domains and their use is quite different over time. 1/16

I bought my supplies at Michael’s, and got the last poster board before it sold out. Hundreds of us will be marching from West Palm to Mar-a-Lago on the other side of the bridge tomorrow morning.

Ukrainians watching this big beautiful beef unfold:⚡️ Zelensky promised to end the war between Trump and Musk within 24 hours.

THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS COLLECTS EVERYTHING

Are we talking enough about the assault on women and children? I don’t think so.

Maybe start with our own people first? Especially every fuckwit who voted Reform. Clearly not big readers or abstract thinkers.

This hits hard—and says everything about where we are right now. A Yale professor says he’s relocating to Canada to continue his democracy work. When asked why not stay in the U.S. and fight, he says he has two Black sons and he’s the son of a Holocaust survivor—and this is an “anti-Black moment”.

Remember this one. In five years, or ten, or twenty. When we're a weird, dirty, backward nation that still sets fire to stuff, and places like China and India start to ask us why.

Love this. In his “I Agree” installation Dima Yarovinsky-Yahel took the content from terms of service statements for companies like Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram, Tinder and printed them out on A4 paper with a standard font size for legal contracts to demonstrate the length of these agreements.

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops. I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Remind you of anyone?

The freight guys have really started freaking out over the past 48-72 hours:

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

African Elephants are my favorite land animal species, by far. During yesterday’s earthquake, my babies at the San Diego Zoo reacted to the quake, immediately protective of their most-vulnerable Community members. Humans could learn SO much from these beauties, if we’d just humble ourselves. 🐘🐘

A little while ago, my parents' cat Bridget went missing. As the weeks dragged on, they became extremely worried. My dad devised a way to distract himself: he began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time and popping up in some of art and music's most iconic scenes.

lol me too!
